PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid component collection device which simplifies operation to prevent false operation, does not require addition of a flow path switch member even when used by adding the kind of liquid, and suppresses complication of the operation. SOLUTION: The liquid component collection device is provided with: a suction part for selectively sucking a specific target component in the liquid; a flow path switch mechanism for linking to a downstream side of the suction part and switching flow exits in two directions; a liquid waste collection part which is joined to one of the flow exits of the flow path switch mechanism to collect liquid waste; and a component collection part which is joined to the other flow exit of the flow path switch mechanism and collects the target component sucked by the suction part. In the liquid component collection device, a plurality of liquid dischargers for discharging a plurality of liquids respectively to an upstream side of the suction part and a flow path opening/closing mechanism which is selectively removaly/attachably joined to one of the plurality of liquid dischargers and opens/closes a flow path of the discharged liquids.
